"Blue eyes cryin' in the rain"
Roy Acuff

You might want to post this simple version to let people know how far back 
this song goes. A lot of young people I talk to think Willie wrote it and 
he's the only one they've heard sing it!

Roy Acuff recorded it 8-2-45 unissued, then again 1-28-47 Columbia 37822 and 
Columbia 20367. Hank Williams sung it on a Mother's Best Show in 1951.

Here is Acuff's version of 1947:

(E) In the twilight glow I see her,
(B7) Blue eyes cryin' in the (E) rain,
When we kissed goodbye and parted,
I (B7) knew we'd never meet a- (E)-gain.  (E7)

Bridge #1:
(A) Love is like a dying ember,
(E) Only memories re-(B7)-main,
(E) Through the ages I'll remember,
(B7) Blue eyes cryin' in the (E) rain.

Instrumental break:

Bridge #2:
(A) Someday when we meet up yonder,
(E) We'll stroll hand in hand a-(B7)-gain,
(E) In a land that knows no parting,
(B7) Blue eyes cryin' in the (E) rain.
